Asparagus is a vegetable; the figures here are for canned asparagus that has been reheated and drained. It provides some protein, along with vitamins including folate and vitamin C. Per 100g, it contains 3.4g of protein, 100µg of folate, 13mg of vitamin C and 0.85g of salt.
Folate helps the body make red blood cells, while vitamin C supports normal skin and connective tissue and helps the absorption of iron from plant foods. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, even though the liquid has been drained away. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.

About these figures
Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 samples, 3 brands). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: Vegetables, Herbs and Spices Supplement, 1991.
